I never really bought into the theory that Thorin would be too young. As others have said, it worked well with Frodo. I had no issue with that. I have to say though, I did imagine Thorin as a lot older, and I must admit to being a little concerned.

But Nori's hair really irks me. All the (TORN) staff seemed to talk about it, and when the hair is the main talking point in a character, it's very worrying.

I've never been one for 'cool'. I didn't like Legolas' snowboarding exploits - it took me out of the film, and I feel Nori does the same. I see the dwarves and they look great, but I lose the magic, and the immersion in the world when I see a designer haircut.

It's an annoying negative in what I see otherwise are some very, very good dwarves indeed. Mawr yw ein braint i berthyn i'r gwm Llynfi
